So here is the last chapter. Short and sweet and a little steamy (but only a little) which bumps this story up to a T rating. I'm not paranoid that this is too much for a T at all - its not in my opinion. They get close and personal and whatnot but they don't go all the way or remove any clothing - not even a sock - so its not an M.

If however you know the ratings better than I and think it should be changed, let me know and I shall think rethink my decision ;)

Thanks guys~! Much love!

Special thanks again to kisshuismylife! You lovely, you! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

*~ Wish You Were Here ~*

*~ Chapter 4 ~*

Kisshu held her close until she calmed down and gazed up in to his eyes. She lifted her right hand, placed it on his cheek and he closed his eyes as he leaned in to it.

"You're really here, aren't you?" Ichigo breathed, not confident enough to just break the silence entirely, in case she broke the illusion too, if he was one.

But he took away that fear by opening his eyes and throwing her a confused expression as he answered her, "Of course I am," he then let go of her waist to bring both of his hands up to hold her face as well. He craned his neck so their eyes were level, "I'm right here. See."

She stared in to the golden orbs that she hadn't seen for so long and watched as they looked back at her, taking in her whole existence as they had always done in the past. She felt his bangs tickle her face and the heat of his short breaths on her skin. She could smell a scent that was so familiar yet not easy to pin point. It was just Kisshu. But he was different...older - of course!

His jaw line was more defined, his skin more smooth yet there was a scar on his cheek that she didn't remember from before. He was taller now and towered a little more than a foot above her and his body seemed much more toned than before. She could feel the power he possessed as he held her even through his careful and gentle manner.

Ichigo had waited so long to see him - to speak to him - so long that now she wasn't sure how to start. So she decided to do something she had been daydreaming about, day and night, for quite some time now. She closed her eyes and gave in to the silent spell that he was casting on her. Leaning towards him and tilting her head up, Kisshu knew she was allowing him to kiss her if he wanted and god knows how long he had waited for it.

He captured her lips as soon as he realised the offer was there and was pleasantly surprised by the way she responded. Instead of pushing him away or remaining motionless, she grabbed the front of his shirt with one hand pulling him as close as she could while snaking her other hand up his neck to the back of his head. He smiled in to the kiss as he felt her fingers threading in to his hair. Kisshu then dropped one of his arms and wound it around her waist holding her against him but still used one of his hands to hold her face to his.

"I missed you so much," he quickly whispered before Ichigo captured his lips again. He sounded a little out of breath and it just made her want more. He didn't care he just loved all this attention she was finally giving him.

Both her arms were around his neck now, fingers combing through his hair and she seemed to be tugging him. What was she doing? She was...she was pulling him in a certain direction. Kisshu's excitement went wild when he realised she was leading him in the direction of her bed.

The kiss never broke all the way to the bed, only when Ichigo's legs touched the mattress and she descended falling flat on her back with Kisshu following her down. He smiled down at her as he climbed on to the bed positioned above her and she looked up in to his eyes before smiling back and pulling his neck down so she could continue the kiss.

It seemed like hours but really it was only minutes later that Kisshu pulled back to let her breath and moved to plant butterfly kisses along her jaw and down her neck.

Her breathing was erratic and with all these unexpected touches, that Masaya never had the time or the imagination for, it wasn't going to be evening out any time soon.

Oh no, she inwardly groaned, why did she have to think about Masaya when she was finally with Kish? Why did her memory have to ruin her perfect reunion?

"Kish," she breathed. Kisshu made an 'Mm?' sound as he continued to plant butterfly kisses on her body and he was beginning to drift from her neck area moving lower, "Kish, stop."

He planted one last kiss just below her left collarbone and lifted his head to stare down at her in confusion. He waited for her to explain herself.

Ichigo drew in a shaky breath and then confessed, "I'm engaged."

Kisshu's eyes widened and his voice was almost hollow, "What?"

"But its not how it sounds," she cried trying to stop him from getting the wrong idea. But it clearly hadn't been a good enough response, Kisshu moved off of her and sat on the corner of the bed his head in his hands, "Kisshu, I promise, its not like what you're thinking."

She put a hand on his back and saw him flinch. It cut her deeply and she couldn't bare to think how she had just made him feel. He asked her quietly almost in a hiss, "Who is it?"

She didn't answer him, she couldn't work out how to tell him without causing him anymore pain - she had always known how much he hated her boyfriend. Kisshu turned his face just enough to read the answer on hers with her eyes cast down, unwilling to look at him and admit it.

"Oh my god," he sighed rising from the bed and walking out of her grasp, "I can't...I just need a moment to try understand what just happened...I'll be back."

The air around him began to shimmer and the panic that shot through Ichigo's system snapped her in to action. She moved so fast as she threw herself at him resulting in her teleporting as well, ending up in the alien's dimension with him.

"No! You can't leave me when you've only just arrived!" Ichigo cried her eyes full of panic.

Kisshu tried to push her off of him but not aggressively, he didn't want to hurt her in the slightest he just needed her to leave him alone right now, "Don't look at me like that, Ichigo, this isn't fair and you know it!"

"What's not fair is that you won't listen to me when I'm trying to tell you that I love you!" she yelled squeezing her eyes shut hoping that if she could shout it loud enough he would believe her.

Silence ensued and in the end she had to look up at him to know what was going on. He was staring down at her frozen not pushing her away but not pulling her closer either. His eyes were huge, oh those beautiful eyes.

"But..." he stammered finally coming back to himself. He looked around trying to understand and then looked back at her with confusion, "I don't understand, Ichigo, you just said-"

She interrupted him, "I don't love him anymore. I haven't loved him for years. I only accepted his proposal two years ago because I thought maybe I was just having an off day or maybe that I could fall back in love with him again but...Kisshu in the past few years I haven't been able to stop thinking about you."

"I haven't stopped thinking of you," he breathed, subconsciously drawing her in again.

She let him, she wanted him to. Ichigo continued, "I wanted to thank you for dying for me. I wanted to know that you were still alive and that I had actually saved you that day. I wanted to see you with my own eyes," Ichigo confessed bringing her hand up to caress his cheek, "Why didn't you say goodbye?"

"It was too hard," he admitted quietly closing his eyes and leaning in to her hand again. After a moment of this more peaceful moment between them, Kisshu opened his eyes again and said, "Do you mean it? Do you really love me?"

"I can't be sure that I'm in love with you, not yet," Ichigo told him but quickly added, "But I do love you. You just have to make me fall now."

He smiled and looked relieved. He got down on his knees in front of her and held her hands. He kissed the backs of them, "I will do my very best, Koneko-chan."

"Then I will trust you with the care of my heart," Ichigo smiled down at him and watched as he took the engagement ring off of her finger.

"You really wanna be with me?" he asked just to be completely sure.

She tackled him with a hug and cried out as they slammed in to the ground with her on top, "Of course I do, my silly alien! I'm all yours!"

"Oh, Ichigo," Kisshu groaned loving the sound of that as she was pressed against him. He looked in to her eyes, "Did you really need ten years to admit that?"

"Hey!" Ichigo cried half-heartedly slapping his arm as he chuckled out loud. She then leaned in close to him and whispered as seductively as she could, "You do realise that you're now mine as well, right?"

"I've always been yours," he whispered back pressing his lips to hers again to continue where they had left off.

Meanwhile in the lab...

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FORGOT!?" Ryou screamed at the monitor that showed R2003's view of space.

"We're really sorry, Mr. Bossman, but everyone's had other things on their minds like all the problems that you haven't helped to solve - like R2002 getting really cold, I was distracted with this damned rock and you've never apologised to R2004 for calling him a tin-head. If you think about it, you haven't done anything to help any of us clear our minds and focus on your important things so its really all your fault!" Shiro answered quickly shifting the blame and making it sound like it was obvious.

"R2003, I -" Ryou began but was cut off.

"My name is Shiro now, Mr. Bossman. I thought you'd be happy. I am, after all, named after you," Shiro pointed out and ended with a giggle.

"What?" Ryou snapped, "Why are you calling yourself -?"

"She's really nice, Mr. Bossman," Shiro commented thinking about the redhead.

Ryou realised who he was referring to and groaned hanging his head, "Oh for goodness sake, Ichigo..."

"Ooh! A meteorite shower!" Shiro cooed, Ryou looked up at the screen to see indeed a meteorite shower begin in front of Shiro. The little robot then squealed in slight panic, "Oh no! Bigger rocks! Stay away, moon trash!"
